Take out is an
uber-cool coming of age
short by
Canadian director Jean-Francois Monette. It tells the story of
Roary, a
high-school student with a part-time job delivering chicken dinners who soon develops an insane fantasy over a customer he becomes
aquatinted with (
Pete) on a routine delivery.
I simply loved this film, even though it talks about
issues I'm partly uncomfortable with. The way it was filmed and presented was simply awesome. There were several little twists that I though were excellent in the movie; The
monologue Roary gives at the first of the movie (about his hate for chicken), the bond between him and his closest friend, the significance of
Trivial Pursuit in the short, etc. It's just great, I can’t say that enough - Go try to find it (and watch it) if you can.
